Best Brad Paisley CD yet!!!

I am completely blown away by this CD! This is definitely Brad's best CD, much better than "Part II", which I thought was lacking compared to his impressive debut, "Who Needs Pictures." Every song on here is a gem, especially the hauntingly beautiful "Whiskey Lullaby" with Alison Krauss. The "Spaghetti Western Swing" is great also, it's an instrumental with legends Bill Anderson, "Little" Jimmy Dickens and George Jones telling a "story" along with the music. It's hilarious and it's great to hear these legends appear on this CD. The cover of Vern Gosdin's hit "Is It Raining At Your House" is almost as beautiful as the original recording. But every song is great, no filler tunes here-Brad wrote or co-wrote 10 of the 16 songs. And, of course, Brad's phenomenal musicianship can be heard on every track, he is one of the best guitarists in Country music today. If you are a fan of Brad Paisley, you will love this CD. And if you are a fan of traditional Country music, then this is the CD for you-this is about as close to traditional Country you'll see from any contemporary artist recording today. Buy it without hesitation or reservation!

Brad makes it three-in-a-row

It's amazing how an artist so young can have such a deep-rooted talent as Brad Paisley does in this follow-up to the hit album Part II. As before, most of the tracks of this album could easily become hits, and no doubt, this album will join Part II and Who Needs Pictures as multi-platinum successes. From the title track, you can see Brad's affinity for small-town, simple pleasures that make you smile when you hear them strung together. The hilarious antics of Spaghetti Western Theater with legends Bill Anderson, Little Jimmy Dickens and George Jones combined with Brad's amazing skills on the guitar surely make this a classic. The instrumental Make a Mistake With Me shows that you don't need his smooth vocals to show off his talents; the fast-fingered, crisp sounds from his guitars do plenty to that effect.

Brad's uncompromising singing and songwriting on this album doesn't play to what normally sells big in Nashville. The mix of country, western, gospel, and contemporary country will have traditional country music lovers as well as the younger generation finding tracks on this album that will be among their all-time favorites.

Best Since Garth

I have not heard someone come across country radio over the past 15 years who sturs as much emotion in me when I hear their music than Brad Paisley. When I hear the songs Who Needs Pictures, I Wish You'd Stay and his latest Whiskey Lullaby I literally get choked up. All three of his albums have been outstanding and Mud on the Tires may be his best so far. Celebrity is a great/upbeat song. Little Moments is very heartwarming and by the lyrics you can tell he recently got married. The opening line in Whiskey Lullaby makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up >> She put him out like a burnt end of a midnight cigarette. After that I was hooked...great song! The remake of Vern Gosdin's hit >> Is it Raining @ Your House is was very good. I just hope the average country music fan realizes what a treasure we have in Brad Paisley. With all of the Shanya, Rascal Flatts, etc. junk we have to put up with it is nice to get an authentic, talented COUNTRY artist moving up the charts again.
